The problem there is that stable vs unstable distro uses a slightly different meaning of the word stable than you would use to talk about a stable vs unstable system.
In distro speak, a stable distro is one that changes very little over time, and an unstable one is one that changes constantly. That’s sort of tangentially related to reliability, in that if your system is reliable and doesn’t change then it’s likely to stay that way, but it’s not the same thing as reliability.
Normal people who use Arch don’t bring it up much, because they’re all sick of the memes and are really, REALLY tired of immediately being called rude elitist neckbeard cultists every time they mention it.
The Ubuntu hate is because Canonical has a long history of making weird, controversial decisions that split the Linux community for no good reason.
No you weren’t. That would be ridiculous. The deb dependencies are most of your Linux install. Maybe counting just the new dependencies being installed alongside a typical deb install, but that’s still not an apples to apples comparison to 100% of all the flatpak dependencies, even ones shared with other flatpaks, and even that’s still very rarely over 1GB.
Atomic distros are cool, and I’m sure they will only get more popular, but I don’t buy the idea that they’re “The” future. They have their place, but they can’t really completely replace traditional distros. Not every new thing needs to kill everything that came before it.
That’s not really true. It lists all the flatpak dependencies in that disk use, but a lot of those are shared, so they don’t actually use that much each if you install more than one, and the deb dependencies aren’t included at all. Flatpaks really do use more space, especially if you only have a small number of them, but it’s not as bad as that.
Crap. My rep is on there. I’m actually going to have to call, aren’t I? Fine. Fine. I’ll do it. It is done.
Australia’s bigger than Antarctica, and if you don’t care about that “canal crap” then there are only really two continents bigger than it.
So… How many burritos worth of debt do you need before you count as a VIP?
The entire Weddell Sea is just north of Antarctica. That’s where the Weddell Sea is. The problem is that everything near Antarctica is just north of Antarctica, including things on the complete opposite side of the entire continent. It’s just a way of saying near Antarctica that sounds like you’re giving more information than you really are.
It can vary from location to location, but honestly I think a lot of it is that a pretty significant percentage of management can’t get an erection unless they’re watching people suffer.
That’s all true, but also completely irrelevant to the point I was making. Gene expression isn’t in that 99.9% of the DNA that is the same. All of the individually identifiable genetic information in the genome is in the other 0.1%. This is a privacy community. A complete understanding of how genetics works is neat and all, but it’s not relevant to the conversation we’re having. I didn’t say that all humans 99.9% identical to each other. That’s obviously not true. I said that there’s no point in storing duplicate copies of identical genetic sequences, and that saying they store less than 0.1% of your genome only says they’re not doing that.
For the record, 5-10% is way plenty to narrow things down to a very tiny number of people. Probably one in most cases, and it contains a lot of important medical information. That’s not some trivial unimportant thing.
99.9% of your genome is exactly identical to every other human on Earth. <0.1% just means they aren’t storing things that don’t change between people, because why would they?
A lot of food doesn’t even have an expiration date. It’s more common on a lot of foods to have a sell by date, which is not the same thing as an expiration date, and some foods are even just labelled with a packaged date, which is hopefully always in the past. Otherwise you’ve got bigger problems than spoiled food. MREs are especially notorious for this.
That being said though, I’m still usually the one throwing food out. At some point you just have to admit you’re not going to eat it, and no one wants your dubious opened packages or half eaten leftovers. It’s just gonna have to go eventually.
Man, we’d be so much better off if we lived in Idiocracy. Can you imagine living in a world where the people in charge were actually concerned about the well being of the people and actively sought out the smartest people they could find to try to solve the biggest problems society was facing, and then actually listened to what they said and followed their advice? That’s basically a utopia compared to what we got.
Well, part of the problem with modern emulators is that more and more consoles are just relying on regular off the shelf hardware components. That means more of what makes them unique is in software, which is a problem, because emulating software is a lot harder to defend legally, especially in the US and Japan.
So, realistically, the sooner you see a Switch 2 emulator pop up, the faster it’s likely to be taken down by Nintendo’s lawyers.
Also, they’re probably not going to screw up and leave in a hardware recovery mode that bypasses all their security again, which is a big part of why Yuzu could get started so fast.
Linux Mint has an OEM install option that does what you want, I think.
Sort of. Nintendo’s lawyers showed up at the house of the lead dev and he nuked everything he had access to afterwards, which is all we really know, but unlike Yuzu there were no court filings or takedowns or anything. Forks of Ryujinx are still just up on Github.
The actual answer to that question is that the Switch 2 will be out soon. Nintendo doesn’t actually want to go to court over emulators, because there’s a real chance they lose. They were willing to push the devs with Switch emulators though, because that’s the current console generation, and that REALLY pissed them off. They’ve basically accepted that emulators are inevitable even if they don’t like it, but emulating the console they are currently releasing new games for was a step too far as far as they’re concerned.
I guarantee that it is physically impossible to fill a cardboard box with pure neutronium. Is it physically possible to get over 70 lbs of the stuff in there in a stable, shippable manner? I don’t know, and neither do you. It’s certainly far, FAR beyond the capability of any technology on Earth, but I guess it might maybe possibly not break the laws of physics. I can’t prove that though, and neither can you, so neither of us can actually prove the statement wrong.
Man, it would be such a massive upgrade for the western US if the borders had been carefully negotiated by… literally anyone, for any reason. They’re actually just mostly straight lines drawn at random by people who had never been within a thousand miles of them, and they make absolutely no sense at all.
Also, for the record, I hate the idea that cities and the rural areas surrounding them should be separate and have no shared finances and no say in how each other are run. That’s a stupid plan that would immediately result in rural areas having their infrastructure fail, and the cities then all starving. It is a very, very stupid idea, and the very fact that there is a big urban/rural cultural divide is one of the things killing America.
